Let's try it out with the two examples from the initial description:
release version of META-INF/versions/9/version/Version.class too high: 25
release version of META-INF/versions/10/version/Version.class too high: 25
class file META-INF/versions/9/version/Version.class compiled for release 25,
is illegal in version directory 9
class file META-INF/versions/10/version/Version.class compiled for release 25,
is illegal in version directory 10
